Selection comparison Table of Stadium Guardrail Mesh

Classification dimension

Football court

Basketball court

Tennis court

Athletics field

Comprehensive Training Ground

Basic height

4-6 m(≥6 m in international event areas)

3.05-4 m(3 m for community type, 4 m for professional type)

3 m on both sides / 4.5 m at the end line (for international events, the end line is ≥6 m)

1.2-2 m (zoned and isolated）

2-3 m (adjusted according to functional zoning)

Impact resistance requirements

The football remains undeformed when struck at a speed of 20km/h, and its impact resistance energy is ≥500J

The basketball does not break when hit at a speed of 15km/h, and its impact resistance energy is ≥200J

When a tennis ball strikes at a speed of 25km/h without penetration, its impact resistance energy is ≥250J

Prevent accidental personnel collision, impact resistance energy ≥100J

Comprehensive ball game protection, impact resistance energy ≥300J

Mesh size

50×50mm (Preventing footballs from being worn out + preventing children from getting their hands stuck)

45×45mm (Anti-basketball jamming mesh + excellent transparency)

30×30mm (Preventing tennis balls from coming through)

75×150mm (low-cost zoning) or 50×100mm (high security requirements)

50×50mm (balancing protection and field of vision

Recommended product types

Frame-type welded mesh (mesh sheet + rectangular steel pipe frame

Double-strand wire woven mesh or frame mesh

Frame-type hook mesh (highly flexible)

Hook mesh or steel plate mesh (with strong wind resistance)

Combined guardrails (matched as needed in different areas)

Material and Anti-corrosion

Economy type: Hot-dip galvanizing (zinc coating ≥85μm) + plastic coating (thickness 0.8mm), service life 10-15 years

High-end type: Galfan alloy + double-layer PE plastic coating (1.5mm thick), with a lifespan of over 30 years

Economy type: Cold galvanizing + plastic coating, with a lifespan of 8-12 years

High-end type: Hot-dip galvanizing + electrostatic spraying, with a lifespan of 15-20 years

Economy type: Hot-dip galvanized + plastic coating, with a lifespan of 10 to 15 years

High-end type: Stainless steel 304 + fluorocarbon coating, with a service life of over 50 years

Economy type: Electro-galvanized + powder coating, with a lifespan of 5 to 8 years

High-end type: Hot-dip galvanized + plastic coating, with a lifespan of 15-20 years

Economy type: Hot-dip galvanized + plastic coating, with a lifespan of 10 to 15 years

High-end type: Aluminum alloy + electrophoretic coating, with a lifespan of 20-30 years

stand column specification

Φ75×3.0mm hot-dip galvanized steel pipe (with a spacing of 3 meters) or C30 concrete column (with a spacing of 2.5 meters)

Φ60×2.5mm steel pipe (3 m

spacing)

Φ80×3.5mm steel pipe (2.5 meters spacing)

Φ48×2.0mm steel pipe (with a spacing of 3 meters

Φ60×2.5mm steel pipe (3 meters spacing)

Installation method

Hard ground: Fixed with expansion bolts (buried depth ≥100mm)

Soft ground: C20 concrete foundation (dimensions: 500×500×500mm)

Expansion bolt fixation (quick installation)

Concrete foundation + flange connection (strong stability)

Expansion bolts or simple ground insertion type (low cost)

Modular assembly (flexible adjustment）

Anti-climbing design

Install a 30cm high barbed wire roller cage or a 30° inward tilt anti-climbing net on the top

Anti-climbing spikes (15cm apart) are added to the top.

Anti-climbing barbed bars or blade barbed nets are added at the top

When the height is ≤2 meters, anti-climbing facilities may not be required

Anti-climbing spikes should be installed in important areas

Wind resistance measures

Shorten the column spacing to 2.5 meters + reinforce with diagonal braces (45° Angle)

Column spacing ≤3 m + crossbar densification (spacing 1 m)

When the wind load is ≥0.55kN/㎡, wire rope oblique tension should be installed

Steel plate mesh is adopted when the wind resistance level is ≥8

The spacing of columns in open areas shall not exceed 2.5 meters

1.Determine the type of venue: football field/basketball court, etc. → Match the base height and mesh size.

2.Budget assessment range: Economy type focuses on cost performance, while high-end type emphasizes lifespan and protective performance.

3.Analyze environmental conditions

Rainy/coastal areas: Prefer hot-dip galvanized + double-layer plastic coating or Galfan alloy materials.

Strong wind areas: Shorten the column spacing to 2.5 meters, and install diagonal braces or steel wire ropes for reinforcement.

Children's activity area: 50×50mm mesh is used to avoid the risk of hands getting stuck.

4.Additional function requirements

To prevent balls from flying out: For football fields, choose a 50×50mm mesh; for tennis courts, choose a 30×30mm mesh.

Aesthetic requirements: Choose dark green/white dipped plastic or stainless steel materials to coordinate with the environment.

Anti-theft requirement: Use anti-theft bolts for connection or anti-disassembly clips.
